1 - UP Posted August 1, 2008 #1 Posted August 1, 2008 September 8th I'll be riding off to Indianapolis leaving from the Kennedy Space Center Area. I'll be riding over to US27 then North to the eastside of Tallahassee then north on US19. I'll take US19 north to Albany, GA then US82 west over to GA520 then back north to US27. I'll be going on the westside of Atlanta, GA up to Chattanooga, TN. I'll then take US127 north to the westside of Lexington, KY. I'll then hop on US421 and take it to Madison, IN where I'll take IN7 north to US31 and on into Indianapolis. I plan of taking 3 days and camping on the way. Now, what I would like to know is - does anyone know of any camp grounds around that route that I have choosen? I'm thinking about camping somewhere around Albany, GA. then again somewhere south of Lexington, KY. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Ken
MILLMAN37 Posted August 1, 2008 #2 Posted August 1, 2008 If you can wait to get to Madison before you camp. Clifty falls state park is a real nice camp ground. It's just on http://www.indianaoutfitters.com/Maps/state_park_maps/clifty5.gif the westside of Madison on St Rd 56. I hope i did this right!?
skidrow Posted August 1, 2008 #3 Posted August 1, 2008 funny, your about a week late as we will be leaving on 8-30 to go the same place.
Bummer Posted August 1, 2008 #4 Posted August 1, 2008 Google lists: Riverview At Camp Nelson RV Park 468 Camp Nelson Rd Lancaster, KY 40444 (606) 548-2113 That's off of 27. Somewhat out of the way. There's also: Cummins Ferry Campground 2558 Cummins Ferry Rd Salvisa, KY 40372 (859) 865-2003 That one appears to be a couple of miles east of 127 just after Mcafee, KY. Pretty much on your route. You might try giving them a call. (I've never been there, just did a google search.)

It's just on http://www.indianaoutfitters.com/Maps/state_park_maps/clifty5.gif the westside of Madison on St Rd 56. I hope i did this right!? When I lived in Indianapolis, and my sons were small, my family did do some camping at Clifty Falls State Park. It was a nice place then (back in the late 70's and early 80's) I liked it so much that I almost bought some land west of Madison. I had thought about going back to the Park on my way back home after leaving Lawrenceburg. I will be there training police dogs the first week of October. Thanks, Ken
Dano Posted August 2, 2008 #9 Posted August 2, 2008 Ken, look forward to you making your way up here. Give me a shout if you need anything up here. Dan
waterbug Posted August 2, 2008 #10 Posted August 2, 2008 If you are wanting to stay in the Lexington I have always heard that the horse park there or somewere around there has a great campground, never been but used to go threw there every weekend to lake cumberland. Just thought you might want to look it up, I am not sure how close it will be to were you are riding threw. Good luck and have a great trip.

I don't know where the "Horse Park" is but I'll "Google" it and maybe they'll say something about a camp ground in the area. Ken:think:
